Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has
taken a jovial path to the burst up between Mark
Noble and Paul Pogba saying that they ‘looked in
love.’
The Sun reports that West Ham skipper Noble got
up close and personal with Pogba when the pair
clashed just three minutes from the end of a
match which confirms Manchester United finish
as Premier League runners up.
Noble who was visible angry by a tackle from
Pogba reacted furiously and was lucky not to get
sent off for his wild reaction.

Several other players became involved in the
bust up and West Ham striker Andy Carroll and
Man Utd defender Luke Shaw could still get in
bother with the FA as ref Jon Moss did not
punish them on the night.
Speaking about the incident in his post match
press conference Manchester United boss
Mourinho said: “It was handled well. I was watching the
images and Paul and Noble looked in love. Hugs and kisses
and changing shirts at full-time. It was good.



“It was competitive. We needed a point to finish second,
they didn’t need anything because they did the job last
match at Leicester but they played to win.

“The game was competitive. Moss was there, he resolved
the problem in a good way because the game was quite
intense. I was very far from it but when I saw the reaction
of the players, I think that was nothing extraordinary.”
Mourinho made eight changes to his team as he
prepares for the FA Cup final against his old club
Chelsea next Saturday.
Mourinho said: “We tried to organise the team to get
that point but to give opportunities to people who play.
Even ones who will probably play the cup final, to rest for a
couple of weeks is not the best so they need to keep playing.
“Any team that goes to this kind match where you need
something to get some objective, you fight for that. The best
way to fight for the point was to try to win the match and
be safe, which was what we tried.
“But when the game goes to 70, 75 minutes, you don’t win,
you don’t lose, you do the job. You get the point. You finish
second and you can face the game on Sunday with a
different perspective.
“We deserved a point, we deserved second position. When it
is not possible to be champions, second position is the best
available which was what we got.”
But it was happy ending for the 'fighting pair' as
both Noble and Pogba embraced at the final
whistle and swapped shirts to prove there are no
hard feelings.
West Ham boss David Moyes said: “It wasn’t that
type of game. It came out of nowhere. They have played 37
games and the players are ready for a break.
“I thought the players went about it really well. They
wanted to win tonight, it was a big game. If you get a point
against Manchester United at any stage it’s a good point.


Sometimes when you get safe you can sip away from it but
the players were at it all night and stuck to it to get a
thoroughly deserved point.
“The last two games we have got two good clean sheets.
Overall, I am pleased with the players all round. They have
done a good job.”
Adegokblog .com previously reported that Manchester
United on Thursday night, May 10, forced West
Ham United to a goalless draw in their Premier
League match-day 37 tie played at the London
stadium.
United would have themselves to blame for not
getting the maximum three points in this match
as the duo of Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba
missed many chances.
West Ham started the match impressively, and
Manuel Lanzini would have scored the first goal
in the 15th minute when he was set up by Joao
Mario, but he was denied by David De Gea.
